You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.
So wholesome. Now you’ve gone and got me all emotional, SatansMaggotyCumFart
This comment right here officer. (Fwiw, I up voted)
Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)
Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it’s ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you’re trying to do.
I’d say I’m optimistic, hopeful, and we’ll intentioned but it’s been many a year since I’ve felt “nice”. Something shifted in society during the Covid era and I just feel awful going out of my way for most people these days. Very much in the “every person for themselves” category.
When something becomes economic, non-profit or not, expectations from the userbase change.
Yeah! The practice is called drive shucking (kinda like Oysters) and you just need to be considerate of the limitations. The drives often end up cheaper, but lose warranty support once they’re shucked. They’ll also occasionally be slower than a normal drive or have an odd connector, but that is rare since it’s usually cheaper to go with something ‘off the shelf’. If you Google it though you should usually be able to find the handful of drive SKUs they’ll use in whatever external you’re planning to shuck.
Encoding engine basically requires it, so you’d need to implement a hack or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/189cgsm/intel_arc_h265_encoding_performance_and_resizable/
I would highly highly highly recommend a atomic distro. It’s going to be a much nicer sandbox for someone starting out, regardless of age.
It’s also worth noting that transport does not have a zero cost on the environment. It’s why we did away with glass, it’s so heavy it actually becomes carbon intensive to transport. Especially when you account for greater spoilage percentages (due to the glass being mishandled and breaking more often than alternatives). The equation isn’t as simple as it would seem. The true solution is less likely single use drink containers of any kind and more likely some sort of reusable bottle you carry around with you and could fill up.
Weight is also a factor. All these bottles/etc are often transported in very carbon intensive supply chains. Any additional weight scales that footprint and has to be managed.
This is the way
I’d save a stranger, but between a cat and my enemies I can’t say I’d be inclined to go out of my way for either.
Good old Linus. "If we break userspace or common functionality, we’re the problem. "
You can boot windows from a USB stick if you really want. It’s even branded. “Windows to go”.
The backdoor was not contained within the source code, but within precompiled binary blobs sent “downstream” from the maintainer, this is often done so that end users get a leaner version of the software without development tool chains attached, which also makes automated checking of these blobs difficult to impossible so instead we rely on verified and trusted upstream maintainers to be “good actors”. That’s the reason this is such a big wakeup call, as it’s a maintainer that worked on projects and waited for years before trying to push this through.
Yep! I understand, which is why I was clarifying for the previous commenter. As for if telemetry is morally justified, or if we should go back to old fashioned bug reports and some sort of upload system that requires direct user buy-in as the payment for privacy at the cost of reliability, mobility, and scalability is a discussion for someone else haha.
Probably telemetry software. Basically mandated for any publicly traded software company these days.
Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.
